My favorite bar on Tejon St. Neat Irish style pub, great live shows. A bit of a jaunt, but definitely walk-able . There are probably a dozen other bars within a couple block of this one, Including several that are near or on Costilla St., which is a direct shot back to the Studio.

Parks & Nature
After you visit the falls, go up the road to the dirt parking lot that is at the end of road. From this parking lot, you can take High Road (only if you are comfortable driving on dirt/gravel roads). It's a one way road from the parking lot, and it will drop you down into the Bear Creek drainage. After you get on the downhill side, and after the switchbacks, you'll hit the creek. Park here, and hike up the creek, it's an amazing place to hike.
